SCIENCE "In plain LANGUAGE should say
OF this picture that it is the art of the
nursery, the color of the jam-pot and the
sentiment of the Salvation Army"

So SUDDEN and complete appears to be
the collapse of the John Sherman boom

tion for President has undergone sensi-
BILE diminution.- Philadelphia Record
THAT far-seeing politician, Whitelaw
Reid, of New York, is at the back of en- in
genious attempt to prove that the stranded
Fidelity Bank, of Cincinnati. was nothing
but a Democratic deluslon and a snare. As
Arremus Ward once said: 1--WE have al
ways thought 80 and so has all the fam
iIy." Furthermore, it may be well to add
that Black Friday was, in reality, nothing
but q Democratic movement undertaken
for the purpose of re-electing Cleveland in
1888, and that Jay Cookies failure in 1878
was really a rebel onslaught in disguise.
With these additional facts at hand Mr..
Reid ought TO be able to at least keep Mr..
Reid warm during the summer.-St. Louis
Republican. The truth is that Harper, the
head rascal of the Fidelity gang is a Re-
publican and is said to have threatened to
quit business in the event of Mr.. Cleye-
lands election.
